Ume or Flowering Apricot or Prunus Mume Update Winter 2021 - Technique - Baikoen Bonsai Club

In this episode, we are looking at Flowering Apricot or Ume or Prunus Mume. During the early Winter months Ume are the first to flower and in Japanese culture is the harbingers of Spring. As of the filming it is early January and most of my umes are either starting to flower or in full bloom. We will go over some basic timeline on when certain techniques are used to maintain its shape. We will also go over a technique on telling if a flowering apricot will flower when there is no bloom buds available to view.

From what i know and also experienced is that it doesnt depend on the age of the tree to flower, i have 1-2 year seedlings that flower, i think they just flower on the branches that they produced in the last year. Nice video👍👍

Flowers are set in late may to early June and you start see the flowering buds in Fall when they start to swell. Keep those seedlings that flower early.

Where can a fellow bonsai degenerate purchase one of these bad boys?

[@BaikoenBonsai]

well...thats a good question now..with LeCook no longer propagating trees now on a commercial level so starting from scratch is going to be a problem. Not sure where you live but I can probably give you some ideas.
